SRED Loans for Cash and Working Capital Now








SR&ED Productivity Enhancement ? It's Called SR&ED Financing !!



Information on SR&ED Financing in Canada . The ability to monetize/cash flow your sred claim accelerates working capital and cash flow




SRED financing is simply the method by which you can, our firms own option, monetize or ‘cash flow ‘ you Sr&Ed tax credit and generate needed working capital and cash flow for ongoing operations or of course further investment in your r&d processes and development .

We have all seen the oil change commercial where the mechanic states ‘you can pay me now or pay me later ‘. Well financing your sred claim has a similar ring to it – of course you have the option of waiting for the government at the federal and provincial levels to mail your firm your cheque – that could take anywhere from 1-12 months – Or you can arrange to finance that claim now and utilize those funds for any business purpose .

Are we eligible to finance our sr&Ed claim? Clients often ask. We can only replay that if you have a claim, and have filed it, your are in fact eligible. In fact, under certain circumstance it can be arranged to receive funds even prior to filing.

Clearly the pure financial benefits of the sred grant program in Canada are numerous – you receive significant amounts back from expenditures made on research, including wages and salaries associated with that research, as well as major portions of material and equipment expenses.

All of those above noted expenses are ‘cash out ‘to your firm – the funds have been spent .So why not consider financing your claim and receiving those funds back in an extremely timely manner.

We can almost hear some of your questions now as you review our information, as they are typical of what many clients ask:

How exactly do I monetize the sred claim

What exactly is a sred loan – is there additional debt involved

How long does it take and what does it cost?


Let’s cover off some of those very basic questions so you can feel comfortable about the sred financing process. The sred financing, or the monetization or cash flowing of you sred claim is simply a business financing that uses the actual sred claim as collateral. You receive approximately 70% of the full federal and provincial total as a short term cash loan that is collateralized by the sred itself. Of course the additional 30% is still yours, it is simply held back as a buffer for any adjustments that are made to your claim.

No payments are made on your sred loan, and the final cheque to you firm (you have already received 70%) is the holdback amount less the financing costs. So you have pure cash flow and additional working capital, no long term debt associated with a loan per se, and no payments are made. That is truly creative business financing for which most Canadian business owners are not even aware.

The typical process to create a sr&Ed financing is approximately 2-3 weeks, you should quite frankly view it as any other business application – the usual business info and backup on your firm, plus of course the details of the sred financing.

In summary, have your claim prepared by a qualified sred consultant - recent submission rules and styles have changed.

If you have unlimited cash flow and working capital resources by all means wait for your cheque – if you want to cash flow or discount your claim speak to a credible , experienced and trusted business financing advisor in this area .

Canadian Film Tax Credit Financing














Film Tax credit financing for film, animation, and digital media productions continues to be a sought after financing by Canadian entrepreneurs.

Canadian entrepreneurs are fortunate in that a number of recent changes have been made to enhance the overall viability of Film and Television credits in Canada.

Using Ontario as an example in March 2010 the government enacted legislation that increased Ontario Computer Animation credits. Therefore financing of such projects simply brings in additional capital. As an example labour expenditures which are qualified and vetted increase to 100% for arms length employees who don't have incorporation status - for example 'freelancers'.

In the animation and visual effects area there was a government focus to remove the requirement that effects had to ' primarily ' be completed with digital technologies.

How can these film tax, TV, and digital media credits be financed. Financing these tax credits is a very boutique business in Canada. Entrepreneurs and their advisors are cautioned and advised to work with credible, experienced specialists in this niche financing area.

The film tax credit financing (as well as animation, TV, etc) is essentially a bridge loan when your production entity has a financing need.. The amount financed can be a combination of federal and provincial claims, and it generally recommended that the total value of our claim be in the 200, 00.00$ range, which would be a combination of both the federal and provincial portions of your credit.

We meet with many firms who also have needs for other types of financing, which would include separate SR ED (SR&ED) credits, equipment financing, etc. It would sometime make prudent sense to consider a financing that satisfied the complete needs of the company or production.

The hottest new sectors of financing in this area are the popular animation, virtual reality and of course gaming areas of consumer entertainment.

Naturally to be able to finance a claim it must be reviewed and processed by the appropriate tax credit office, for example the Ontario ' OMDC ' tax credits & Financing Programs Dept '.

In our work with clients we advise that it typically takes 2-3 weeks, sometimes longer to finance a tax credit. This process should not be daunting for the entrepreneur or your production company, as it mirrors any other financing business might undertake- for example an application form, due diligence, legal documentation of the financing, etc.

We would point out though that the main emphasis on the financeability of your claim is the actual tax credit itself, as in many cases the product has not 'gone to market 'so to speak.

Financing your film, multimedia, and TV tax credits is a great way to access bridge capital and allow our entity to immediately access funds, as opposed to waiting for funds until post production and commercialization.

Talk to a film tax credit financing expert and you are on the way to a unique method of financing your productions.

SR&ED Financing Loans Get You There And Back – Quickly!










SR&ED Financing – You Could Wait For Your Cheque As The Alternative Option





OVERVIEW – Information on SR ED financing in Canada . Monetizing your SR&ED Claim eliminates waiting for your govt refund chq and maximizes the use of working capital and cash flow to replenish r&d capital expenditures





SR&ED financing is an great way of maximizing the whole Canadian SR&ED process in Canada. Of course Canadian business owners and financial managers can wait for their refund , there is certainly nothing wrong with waiting for money ; let's dig in.

But if you choose to finance your claim now you can in effect continue to maximize the overall potential of this great Canadian program. Funds can be used for immediate purchase of equipment, allowing you to maintain your competitive market position - an excellent strategy might be to use a portion of the fund as a down payment on a lease or purchase of equipment, thereby reducing your overall borrowing cost.

When we meet with business owners and financial managers one of the key questions we are always asked is how much money can be financed under a claim. That answer is that, in general, you can get 70% or more of your overall claim, which is, of course, the combination of both the federal and the provincial claims as a total.

Since the claim you are financing is a cash grant, and non repayable the financing you receive under a SR&ED tax credit financing is yours for any corporate purpose. So typically the funds are used for working capital, purchase of new equipment, and even the repayment of any Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) arrears that you might have if you are in the unfortunate case of owing government super priority payments such as GST, Source deductions, etc.

If you are in a position of financing two years of claim, which is the allowable backdating under the program, you can of course get immediate financing ( FOR THE 70%) of the total of the two years claims . That can be very significant dollars in some cases. So as an example, you have filed a SR&ED claim for two years, the current fiscal year and your previous fiscal timeframe.

Let’s say those two claims total $450,000.00 as an example. So over the last two years you have expended 450k, (probably much more) on research and development. You have had your claim prepared by a competent SR&ED consultant , and are now waiting for you technical and financial audit , which are standard during the SR&ED process .

So what is the option? As we stated it is a case of waiting, in our estimate between 3-12 months for your cheque, or, as we suggest for consideration, financing that claim now. Under of 70% rule you immediately obtain cash flow and working capital in the amount of $ 315,000.00 to use for general corporate purposes.

When the claim is processed, approved and paid by the government you of course receive the balance of the 30% of the claim less financing costs. Financing costs are higher than normal business financing might be via your chartered bank, as in essence you are factoring a receivable that is due to your firm.

In order to ensure a solid and easier financing of your claim we again re state the fact that it is good to have your claim prepared by an experienced person in this area, which in some cases, but certainly not always, be your accountant or C.A. firm. We say ‘ not always ‘ because SR&ED claims preparation and analysis is very industry specific and is not what we would call a ‘ core competency ‘of every C.A. in Canada , and that’s an understatement ! It's those SR&ED consultants that understand form T661 very well and complete it accurately and with the proper information leading to a successful claim... and refund!


In summary, it should probably go without saying that every Canadian firm should consider filing for their non- repayable SR&ED refund.

Speak to an experienced, credible, advisor in this area to initiate your claim financing.

SR&ED Financing In Canada : Accessing SR ED Loans












How To Win The War On The Wait For Your SR&ED Refund


OVERVIEW – Information on sr&ed financing in Canada. The ability to finance a sred claim provides valuable closure to your r&d capital investment . That closure? Cash!




You have filed your SRED (SR&ED) tax credit . The benefits of this program can’t be overstated . Now all you have to do is wait for the cheque from the government, right ? Let’s dig in .

There is another option . As a Canadian business owner and financial manager you may have chosen to ‘ book ‘ your SR ED claim as an account receivable – money owing to you, that is non- payable , from the government . Some of our customers choose to book the claim as an asset/receivable, some choose not to, or in some cases they book a conservative estimate of their final cheque .

Assets can be financed – your SRED claim is an asset, and is in effect a receivable, somewhat longer in nature than you other receivables ( hopefully ). Those Canadian firms that have bank lines in place have probably realized by now that most chartered banks in Canada do not include your SRED claim as a true receivable .

So, can that receivable be financed and monetized ?? It absolutely can, via the process of SR ED financing . We hear more often than not the term ‘ factoring ‘ in business – which is, of course, the sale of a specific, or group, of receivables .

That’s what SRED financing is about . A carefully constructed SRED financing allows you to ‘ cash in ‘ – the finance people say ‘ monetize ‘ the SR ED claim . That’s valuable cash flow that might not have come into our working capital for many months, in some cases a year based upon the timing of your filing, the complexity of the claim, the technical audit, etc .

We strongly recommend to business owners that if they are looking to finance a SRED calim that they work with an experienced and trusted advisor in this area .

Whenever we meet with a client or business owner who wishes to inquire about our SRED financing work the company invariably wants to know several key things –

How does it work?

What does it Cost?

How much do I get on the claim?

What’s involved ?

When do we get our funds?!


Lets discuss those issues in a general way, we honestly think our comments will apply to almost 95% of SRED financing claimants . You want facts? We’ll give you the facts ! –

SRED 101 – Everything you wanted to know about SRED Financing, but were afraid to ask .Your SRED claim is sold/assigned to the financier - Similar to the factoring practice of selling a receivable you sell your claim for the purposes of getting the cash – it’s a sooner rather than later scenario ! SRED financing is a form of alternative financing, rates vary with the size and complexity of the claim, rates are higher than bank financing .

In our experience firms financing their SRED’s are totally focused on generating additional cash flow and working capital so they can continue to grow sales and profits. Claims are financed at approx 70% of their LTV. By LTV we mean loan to value, so a company filing a 300,000.00$ SRED claim would receive 210,000.00$. The balance owing to you, (less financing costs) is funded when the claim is finalized and paid by CRA – Revenue Canada.

Oh, and what’s involved? In our work with clients we maintain that a SRED financing is not unlike any other financing: an application, some backup information, some due diligence around your company and your SRED, then documentation, and you’re funded. We typically have been able to originate and complete financings for our clients in 2-3 weeks.

Bottom Line ?
Sr&ed Financing is a viable and valuable alternate form for working capital financing in Canada! Seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can assist you with your tax credit financing needs .

Sr&Ed Factoring – Cash & Working Now for your Canadian SRED Claim













Information on SR&ED loans in Canada. Financing the refundable sr&ed tax credit delivers cash and working capital back to your business. Factoring sr&ed claims makes business sense - here's why!





Sr&ed Factoring , or in effect the financing of your Canadian SRED claim is a unique and innovation method of financing your tax credit .

For many Canadian business owners and financial managers the amount that their company has invested in research and development of innovative products and services represents a significant amount of their budgets.
Naturally Canadian business appreciates the amount of funds that the Canadian government refunds as non-repayable cash grant for your firms investment into product and technology advancement.

When we meet with customers who wish to finance, (factor) their SR&ED claim it’s all about timing. They want to get the immediate benefit of that cash flow and working capital back into their firm. The financing of the claim is the way to do that – it’s a case of immediately receiving the cash refund for your claim as opposed to having to wait anywhere from several months to a year to get the refund . And if your firm is filing a SrEd claim for the allowable period of two years prior well that cash flow and working capital has now doubled and provides a significant amount of cash flow if you finance the claim today.

As we have stated the whole scenario of financing a Sr&Ed Tax credit is essentially the process of factoring, or ‘discounting the claim ‘. We would point out that the whole process is applicable to film tax credits also, which a growing and robust industry is given that the government has heightened its grants in many areas of film tax credit financing.

So whats involved in monetizing your SR&ED claim? And perhaps as important, what amount of funds can you get today for the claim. We have stated the claim is discounted or factored - business factor because they need immediate access to cash when current assets such as accounts receivable cannot provide cash flow in a manner that allows your firm to have the working capital it needs. In some cases the factoring of receivables or a SR&ED claim may be one options for cash flow generation, however in a great deal of the cases it in fact is the only option .

That is because Canadian banks are reluctant to finance SR&ED claims because of the partial uncertainty in the final approval of the claim, and the reality is that many Canadian small and medium companies currently are challenged in obtaining all the business financing they need.

How much can I get? Is the typical question asked by Canadian business when financing their SR&ED claim? The answer is typically 70% now, and generally financing is structured along the lines of no principal or interest payments on the SRED loan financing until the government approves and funds the claim. At that point your firm gets the additional 30% of the claim, less financing costs associated with the claim which vary based on size of claim, overall financial situation of your firm, etc.

We want to clearly point out that no company should be deterred from financing a claim because they are in a pre- revenue state, or if they have other financial problems or challenges, as the essential security of your SR&ED itself is the prime collateral for the financing.

Talk to an expert in SR&ED financing and determine if you’re a solid candidate for immediate cash flow and working capital via this great Canadian government program.

SR ED Financing Via Sred Loans : A SR&ED Tax Credit Loan Monetization Strategy That Works











Is Your Company Taking Advantage Of SR&ED Loan Financing? Consider This ..








OVERVIEW – Information on SRED loans in Canada. SR ED financing via a tax credit loan is the logical way to monetize your r&d capital credits for cash flow purposes





SR ED financing is the most efficient way to accelerate and monetize your investment in R&D capital. A SR&ED tax credit loan allows you to take maximum advantage of this most famous and used govt refundable tax credit. Why do SRED loans make sense for your firm then? Let's dig in.

Of course the actual ' formal ' name for the program is the Scientific Research & Experimental Development refundable tax credit .By the way , we've never been one for name calling , so whether you call it ' sred ' ' shred' or anything else for that matter only the importance of the program is key to us!

Canadian business owners and financial managers in a variety of industries have the ability to of course file sred claims, and at the same time, if they choose, they can finance their claim and generate immediate cash flow and working capital from this valuable government grant program. Again, to be clear, those funds are non repayable.

Safe to say that the only thing that prevents you from financing a claim is if you do not file a claim, so understanding the basics around a claim, as well as the characteristics that claim needs to be financed is valuable information for Canadian business owners and financial managers. The govt refunds billions of dollars every year under this program , and many owners/mgr choose to finance their claims.

Claims are filed and substantiated under the normal program guidelines. One of the misconceptions around the program is that your R&D has to be successful in nature, and that's actually NOT correct, you just have to be in a position to document what you did and how you did or tried it.

Although claims prepared by owners and management can be considered for financing, the reality is that if you are applying for sr&ed financing it makes a lot more sense to have your claim prepared by one of two parties, either your accountant , or what is known as a ' Sred Consultant '.

Claims have never been easier to file, as the govt has very much streamlined the program - but total care is needed to adhere to current filing guidelines - that's where those SRED consultants come in.

With the information we are sharing here we want to be able to ensure you understand how the quality and size of your claim affect its overall financeability. SRED claims are applied for in all sorts of amounts, we have seen clients file as low as 20,000 - 30,000$ per annum, and as high as 1.5 million dollars, and we are sure there have been higher claims.

The actual claim preparation has an effect on your claims financeability - as your goal, should you need the cash flow and working capital, is to monetize that claim into a short term sred loan - with the sred itself being the collateral for the loan.

When you choose to finance a claim the general advance is made at 70% - so let's do some rough arithmetic around a sample claim and it's financing.

We're told that in business timing is everything - As a business owner you can wait anywhere from 1-12 months to get your cheque in from the government, which is reimbursed at the federal and provincial levels. Or, if you choose to utilize those funds now under a sred loan, you can get an immediate loan of 70% of that claim.

What do clients do with their SRED Loan proceeds? Funds are typically used for working capital purposes, equipment purchases, or even more ongoing sred activity! Looking for more good news? No payments are made on your sred loan; financing costs are calculated at the back end of the claim when you receive your funds, including the previously mentioned 30% that was held back on the financing.

Furthermore, if you have successfully financed sred claims in the past you could be very eligible for sred accrual financing - which is a special program that reimburses you for your sred expenses as you go along during the year.

Traditional financing institutions such as banks and business credit unions are poorly equipped to understand and finance sred tax credits .As a result we recommend you work with a trusted and credible business financing advisor to ensure your claim can be financed quickly and with a modest amount of preparation.

A bottom line on SRED Loans? If you in fact utilize the SR&ED program consider cash flowing your claim to accelerate the monetization of your claim. Seek out and speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can assist you in financing your R&D capital refund.
